Well, that's exactly what a couple artists in the 90s decided to do, conducting a rigorous, scientific poll in order to identify what people actually wanted in their music and produce what would be, in theory, the most popular possible song. And, in the interest of science (and fun), they also turned their results upside-down, making what should be the most unwanted song ever recorded. So how'd they do? <a href='https://www.patreon.com/12tonevideos' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Patreon</a> Merchandise <a href='http://12tonevideos.storenvy.com/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Store</a> Mailing <a href='http://eepurl.com/bCTDaj' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>List</a> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/12tonevideos' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Facebook</a> <a href='https://twitter.com/12tonevideos' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Twitter</a> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/12tonevideos/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Instagram</a> Email: 12tonevideos@gmail.com <a href='https://youtu.be/H8n78hRFSew' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Last</a> The Most Wanted <a href='https://youtu.be/jId-qaEwuvI' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Song</a> The Most Unwanted <a href='https://youtu.be/ZDh4o0rOvr0' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Song</a> <a href='https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vptOPcAqTXu6OXbjZp7eSU0yEzCJtcTanmGp6wCKKH8/edit?usp=sharing' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Script</a> SOURCES: <a href='http://davesoldier.com/articles/People%27sChoiceSurvey.pdf' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>survey</a> <a href='http://davesoldier.com/experimental.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'></a> <a href='https://www.wired.com/2008/04/a-scientific-at/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'></a> <a href='http://awp.diaart.org/km/musiccd.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'></a> <a href='http://awp.diaart.org/km/index.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'></a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVWooMru3-U' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'></a> Huge thanks to our gold-level Patreon supporters: Susan Jones Jill Jones Ron Jones Howard Levine Elaine Pratt Ken Arnold Gabi Ghita Kaylor Hodges Mark Yachnin Brian Etheredge Joe Mensor William (Bill) Boston Irvine Garrett Nicolas Mendoza Justin <a href='https://www.youtube.com/user/jsterj1' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Donnell</a> Khristofor Saraga Jeff Hook Josh King Gene Lushtak Anton Smyk Michael Hutcheson And thanks as well to Henry Reich, Logan Jones, Eugene Bulkin, Dialup Salesman, Abram Thiessen, Anna Work, Oliver, Jc Bq, Adam Neely, Jon I, nico, David Zahara, Michael Fieseler, Rick Lees, Ben LaRose, rhandhom1, Marc Himmelberger, Chris Borland, jason black, Dutreuilh Olivier, Olivia Andersson, Nick Olman, Joey Strandquist, Daniel Gilchrist, billy roberts, Elliot Burke, Alex Atanasyan, Davis Sprague, Amlor, Dakota Williams, Miles Strand, Greg Borenstein, Tim S., David Tocknell, Elias Simon, Jordan Nelson, StarsServant, Steven Kapor, Dave Mayer, Thomás, Jerry D.
